The school faces the river, advancing towards it with several semi-open yards. The yards are dug out in the relief to allow natural lighting in the lower levels of the school.
The building is designed on a relief with a large difference in altitude. The main entrance is from the 2nd-floor platform, which also serves as a roof for the gallery/canteen.
The yard for elementary grades is designed as an amphitheater conformed to the relief, creating a space suitable for games and performances as well as outdoor classes and lectures.

In this task, I examined the change and development of the composition through the interaction of simple volumes with each other. The composition consists of 27 parts and was composed in 3 stages: - the first 9 cubes are cut into each other at right angles; - another 9 cubes were added at different angles; - distorted cubes were added.

In this task, I had to devise a 6’x6’ pavilion with negative space, i.e. instead of specifying borders of emptiness inside the pavilion, forming the shape of the space itself inside the pavilion, using choreography of movement through interaction of volume with light, rhythm, and mass to create a narrative and path from ENTER to EXIT. I used an extraction of part of my previous multi-cube composition as a guide. (9” cube) I constructed a blue foam negative model scale to depict the raw space without “interior” and “exterior” parts of the building, and later constructed a final 9”x9” plaster positive model.
